He even commented "Christ sakes $40,000 for a truck and it looks like this from just rear-ending ya"
just an observation.... 
I go to restaurants because the food and service are good. I hire tradesmen because they do quality work, and I try to buy stuff that is durably made....regardless of where it is made.
Be the Best and people will Buy the Best.
I've heard plenty of people here say that they would rather spend the extra money and get "The Best" |
Sorry to hear about the Accy but that wasn't where it's made it was how he hit you. He was probably breaking which dipped his nose and exposed less bumper you were probably breaking and exposed more rear bumper. Wasn't where it was made but Physics. I was in a similar situation a couple years ago when I got hit by a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I had a ding in my bumper and it was pushed in < .5 inch and the Jeep had 2K+ in damage.
Having worked in Foreign car repair I will say that the Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissans are pretty stinking good but they still have plenty of their own issues...
